Kou Xuanling came down from upstairs and happened to hear what Mao Xiaoli said. She looked quite surprised.
When Mao Xiaoli saw Kou Xuanling and Du Shuo, she stopped talking about the ghost locust tree and asked Kou Xuanling, "What did Master Kou find out this morning?"
Kou Xuanling curled the corners of his lips: "It must be more than what a half-baked Heavenly Master can check."
"Who are you calling a half-baked person?" Mao Xiaoli decided to secretly pick up Kou Xuanling's hair and cast a curse on him to death.
"Heh." Kou Xuanling walked down the stairs and sat opposite Chen Yang and Du Shuo: "I walked around the periphery and found a formation hidden in the Haoyuan Villa area."
There was a hint of surprise in Chen Yang's eyes. Those evil spirits were actually related to the formation
"Have you figured out what formation it is?"
Kou Xuanling nodded: "It's the Fire Sin Formation."
Mao Xiaoli was puzzled: "What is the Fire Sin Formation?"
"It is an extremely evil and vicious formation, also called a skeleton formation." Chen Yang frowned: "Are there any other fellow Taoists who are involved in this matter?"
Even if they are from the same sect, you can tell that they are not good people. Generally, those who would set up such an evil and vicious formation as the Fire Sin Formation are definitely heavenly masters who have gone astray.
The so-called Fire Sin Formation, or more accurately, the Corpse Formation. To set up this formation, a person must die first, and the death must be extremely tragic. Then the dead person's bones are picked up to create a fake body, trapping the dead person's soul and creating a fake corpse grave.
The purpose of arranging this formation is to make it easier to harm people. The evil spirits cannot stay away from the remains of the corpse unless there is a medium. The evil spirits can use some evil magic to possess the medium and stay away from the remains of the corpse to continue to harm countless people.
The Fire Sin Array is like a tool for creating a medium.
Chen Yang: "Xiao Li, where is Gui Huai?"
Mao Xiaoli: "East District A101, surnamed Fang. Moved in a year ago, family of five. Parents do business outside, not at home all year round, took their two sons with them. Daughter Fang Wenwen lives alone, she can be seen walking around the neighborhood with her younger brother in recent days."
"Now I will sort out the clues I found and tell you." Chen Yang took out a few fruits from the plate and placed them on the table: "The bananas are from the Miyun haunted house, the apples are from the ghost locust tree, and the pears are from the Fang family."
After arranging the dishes, one orange was missing. There were only bananas, apples and pears on the plate in front of him. Chen Yang frowned slightly and saw an orange in the restaurant: "Brother Du, give me an orange."
Kou Xuanling almost choked on her own saliva and looked at Chen Yang strangely.
Du Shuo stood up, went to the restaurant, took an orange and threw it to Chen Yang. Chen Yang took it without looking up and put it on the table: "This is Fang Wenwen." Looking up, he saw that the faces of the people opposite him were different, especially Kou Xuanling, who seemed to have seen something surprising.
"how?"
Kou Xuanling had a complicated expression: It turns out that relationships that have slept together are different.
Chen Yang looked at Mao Xiaoli, and Mao Xiaoli quickly shook her head.
She didn't dare to say that she was afraid to even talk to Du Shuo, because it would make her look too cowardly. How could the 23rd generation disciple of Maoshan Sect be cowardly? !
"Okay, let's start with the case that happened in the Miyun haunted house."
Mao Xiaoli: "Has there been a murder in the Miyun haunted house? There is no record of it in the files."
"There is no record because no one has discovered it. Those who moved into the haunted house and later moved out have disappeared."
"Missing?" Kou Xuanling: "I'm afraid they all met with an accident."
"Nine times out of ten."
Mao Xiaoli: "What do you mean? Brother Chen, do you mean that every family that has moved into the haunted house was killed after moving out?"
"To be precise, they should have died before moving out." Chen Yang said, "These evil spirits are so smart that it's frightening."
Every family that moved into the haunted house had already been eaten alive. Those who moved out were just things covered in human skin, and then disappeared in some unexpected way. The whole family was dead, and although others found it strange, they didn't pay too much attention.
Over time, it became an unsolved case.
No one suspected the Miyun Haunted House, and since rumors of hauntings had begun to spread there, it was rarely visited by people. No one had died, and no one had hired the master, so the master would not investigate.
"According to your speculation, those evil spirits need flesh and blood. But with so many people moving out, rumors of ghosts are spreading like wildfire, and no one is renting the house. Isn't there no fresh flesh and blood supply?"
It was precisely because of those ghost rumors that the Miyun haunted house was abandoned for ten years.
"So now we have to talk about the Fang family," Chen Yang pointed at the pear and said, "The Fang family was the last family to move out of the haunted house. There were four of them. Later, they all disappeared. But after this time, no one lived in the haunted house anymore."
Mao Xiaoli: "Fang Wenwen?"
"She is the eldest daughter of the Fang family. She was taken away by her grandfather who lived in Sichuan when she was ten years old. When she was about sixteen years old, she rushed back to deal with the disappearance of her parents and brothers."
Wei Changping raised his hand and asked, "If the Fang Wenwen you are talking about is the Fang family member, then who is her brother?"
Kou Xuanling: "Don't you know it well? You even held the child yesterday."
Wei Changping looked unhappy. Feng Yuan patted him on the shoulder and then covered his mouth with his hands and laughed secretly.
Kou Xuanling turned to Chen Yang and asked, "These things must have happened several years ago, and there are no archives. Where did you find the information?"
"Dugo checked it."
Kou Xuanling looked at Du Shuo suddenly, who looked indifferent: "Any opinions?"
He quickly shook his head to show that he had no objection.
The director of the general bureau has the authority to investigate the electronic files stored in the confidential room at any time. Kou Xuanling had made this request to Du Shuo before.
Du Shuo did not agree because the subsequent procedures would be very complicated.
"I suspect that the Fire Sin Array was set up by Fang Wenwen in order to allow those evil spirits to leave the haunted house freely. If innocent people offend them voluntarily, they will be able to leave the place where the corpses were found and kill people." Chen Yang pointed to the orange that represented Fang Wenwen.
"Why do you doubt her?"
"Because of the ghost locust tree. She is raising ghosts. I think she is a person who practices ghost Taoism." Chen Yang pointed to the apple representing the ghost locust tree and said, "The locust tree can raise ghosts and can also cover up the breath of ghosts. If I am not mistaken, she is using the locust tree to raise ghosts."
"Purpose?"
"I've read the information. The Fang family doesn't favor boys over girls. Fang Wenwen was sent to her grandfather when she was ten years old. Every year, Fang's father and mother would visit her. And Fang Wenwen is known as a witch in the Shuzhong area."
A witch, or a witch ghost, is a person who practices the way of ghosts.
Fang Wenwen is a person who practices ghost arts, so it is not surprising that he can create such an evil and vicious formation as the Fire Sin Array.
"She wants to revive her family... That's the reason I can think of, but there are other possibilities."
Kou Xuanling: “Haha.”
Mao Xiaoli: "Bless her."
Feng Yuan and the others were puzzled, so they asked, "Is there really a magic that can bring people back to life?"
"No." After Chen Yang finished speaking, he tugged at the corner of Du Shuo's clothes who was sitting next to him, asking him to say something.
Du Shuo raised his eyes and said: "Life and death are determined by heaven, and cause and effect are cyclical. Human power cannot change it."
Chen Yang: "What if we must fight against the heavens?"
"God's punishment."
Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "You are right. The punishment from heaven has already come upon Fang Wenwen. She wanted to revive her family, but in the end, she only created a monster that greedily devoured flesh and blood."
Feng Yuan: "But Fang Wenwen is healthy and pain-free, and is living a good life."
"God has already taken her life away." Kou Xuanling said: "If I am not mistaken, she should have lived a long life, but now she has no vitality at all, as if she is withered. She will not live long."
After death, the punishment from heaven truly begins.
"Gui Huai is a ghost raised by Fang Wenwen. She uses the Fire Sin Formation to collect fresh blood and flesh for her family. Her methods are vicious. She is also a witch. Today's Heavenly Masters probably don't have much contact with witches."
Kou Xuanling: "A righteous heart suppresses all evil."
Chen Yang: "Brother Du and I are going to the Miyun Haunted House to find the evil spirit's corpse. Fang Wenwen will trouble Master Kou, and Xiaoli will also go with Master Kou. Is that ok?"
"Can."
Mao Xiaoli nodded in agreement.
At this time, Wei Changping's cell phone rang. After answering, the other end said something. Wei Changping immediately said "Fang Wenwen" silently.
The few of them immediately quieted down and let Wei Changping chat with the person opposite.
"I'll be at your place tomorrow night? Is it just you and your brother?"
Wei Changping looked up at Chen Yang, and Chen Yang nodded.
"Okay. Go there tomorrow night at eight."
Wei Changping hung up the phone and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to Chen Yang's analysis, he understood how terrifying Fang Wenwen was. He was so scared that his legs were shaking non-stop: "What should I do? Fang Wenwen said that her brother was sick and there was no one at home, so she wanted me to accompany her. Ge Qing threw the Five Thunder Spirit Talisman into Fang Wenwen's pocket today, and Fang Wenwen's brother was injured when he touched the talisman. Could she be trying to trick me into going over to help her brother recover?"
Chen Yang: “Yes.”
Mao Xiaoli: "Fang Wenwen is very beautiful."
Feng Yuan: "Maybe he can still be romantic before he dies."
Wei Changping said sinisterly: "Fang Wenwen also invited Feng Yuan, and I agreed."
Chen Yang: "Then Feng Yuan will go with you."
Feng Yuan looked choked.
"Don't alert the enemy. You were supposed to lure out the evil spirits tonight, but now you don't have to. Are you happy?"
"… "
The crowd dispersed and prepared themselves.
Chen Yang said to Du Shuo: "You see, I don't think I need your third hint."
He looked quite pleased with himself.
"Yangyang is amazing."
Du Shuo didn't take it seriously and just coaxed him like a child.
"You're about to lose to me, why don't you tell me about the prize first?"
"Being a good kid means following the rules of the game."
"When you slept with me, why didn't I see you treating me like a child?"
Du Shuo was silent for a few seconds and said, "Otherwise, next time, you can call me dad."
Chen Yang's eyes widened, he found the soft flesh on Du Shuo's arm and pinched it, then twisted it hard.
Du Shuo's eyebrows didn't even twitch: "Be good, don't make trouble."
Chen Yang let go and suddenly said, "You are busy in the world of the living, too?"
"… no."
Du Shuo was just a name in the world of the living. Only a few people in the world of celestial masters knew his identity. The rest of the people just thought he was mysterious and powerful. He didn't accept orders easily, and only accepted two orders in three years.
The two orders had cost many Heavenly Masters their lives, but he solved the problem alone. His reputation spread, and the Imperial Capital Great Fortune General Administration firmly sat in the first place, with no one to shake it.
Although he should be free from worldly affairs, he still has to take care of the affairs of the underworld, so he is still very busy.
Chen Yang complained dissatisfiedly: "No way! Both the living world and the underworld need you to do errands, it's too oppressive for ghosts. Don't you have labor contracts in the underworld?"
"No."
"Labor Bureau?"
"without."
"Wouldn't that mean they were being exploited day and night and had no place to seek justice?"
Du Shuo was silent.
The ghost messengers in the underworld wish they had something to do, to accumulate merits, to get promoted as soon as possible, to leave their ghost messenger status and become ghost immortals. Who would complain about having too much to do
